Perfect, really helpful

I'd love to see a deeper dive on LUFS vs ReplayGain. In Spotify, I remember every once in a while I got a couple of songs that seemed to be way off compared other songs in the same album. In MediaMonkey, which uses ReplayGain, I never once got problems like that.

Very informative. Thank you!! Having watched this video, I'm getting to the conclusion that I should just do my "standard" album master, which might be around -10dB LUFS (keeping some dynamics) and upload that also to Spotify.

[@MasteringExplained]

Yes, one version for all platforms is what we do as well. /Thomas

1:44 without this i would master a full album for the sleeping music playlists.

Back in the 80's if you wanted louder music, you got a powerful amp. Now they just kill the dynamic range for loudness. So strange. I prefer CDs. You can always rip them if you want portable tunes and you don't have to worry about any streaming service altering the audio levels.
